During one and a half day in November the MERGE Yearly meeting 2018 went off in Växjö. The theme was MERGE research and we heard from all corners of MERGE from the very small particles in the sky to being able to identify which tree/place was on the screen. All active partners in MERGE were represented and a blend of well-needed discussions were fused in between the presentations. The program an

Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f

During 7-8 of May, 80 researchers within MERGE and BECC met to learn about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and how their research can be linked, and contribute, to the implementation of the goals. We are just as far from reaching the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) as Burkina Faso. We just have different challenges.This is one of many terse quotes delivered by Katherine Richardson, pr

Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a uniquely detailed global climate model that will increase our understanding of climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, at this level of detail, are included in climate modeling within EC-Earth, a global climate and earth system model.

If you exhale on a clear day in the clean, cold air of the Arctic, you will not see your breath form the cloud we are used to seeing when the temperature drops. The reason for this is that the cloud cannot form without aerosol particles. Moa Sporre, researcher in nuclear physics at Lund University, focuses on how these particles affect cloud formation and how the clouds, in turn, affect the climat

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

The theme of the ClimBEco annual meeting was “Multidisciplinary learning environments – seizing their opportunities and avoiding their pitfalls”. After an icebreaker that included seeing some sweet ‘corona-pets’ in the screens, we brought ourselves onto the level of metaphysics and the multiple ways of knowing about the world. We considered the epistemological breadth in the ‘doing of science’ at
